Putting the d'oh! in Adobe: 'Years of photos' permanently wiped from iPhones, iPads by bad Lightroom app update

Mr. A. N. Onymous

If you have lost "years of photos" that weren't backed up in another location, well, you fucked up. That's crazy to be so cavalier with your intellectual property and art.

I empathize, and I can imagine the feeling of loss, but this is a self inflicted wound.

Three locations, two different methods. That's a good start.

Equifax finally coughs up the money for its 2017 monster hack… to the banks for having to cancel your cards

Mr. A. N. Onymous

I am now battered and weary by the number of credit monitoring services these assholes send my way when they can't keep their digital gate properly locked.

At this point, I am now bloodthirsty. CEO? He should be guillotined. Board members lose a hand to the executioner. Fuck em.

I believe there is a place for corporate officers to suffer corporal punishment in the event of such things.

Mr. A. N. Onymous

I suppose I am not the only person who reads “cryptocurrency “ and hears “nefarious scammery “

Just looking at the videos on youtube, I have never seen such a collection of douchebags.

Quit pissing on this seat, Jules. FFS.

IBM claims its machine learning library is 46x faster than TensorFlow

Mr. A. N. Onymous

Perhaps another view: the interesting thing here is that IBM has accellerated three functions that are somewhere near the top of what data scientists do every day. According to the last Kaggle survey, 65ish percent of folks use linear regression. Now that's substantially faster, and much lower impact on a data center.

Volta GPUs are super fast, and the way IBM builds these systems gives you the ability to move data on and off of them at very high speed. The servers also give you coherent memory support across the GPUs and system memory; I don't know how much that helped here (and I should probably go find the paper on arxiv.org to see if they show their hand), but it seems like that solves a gorpy computing problem.

Nice to have options, even if you choose not to buy one or, as in this case, four.

Mr. A. N. Onymous

Oh good. Here’s some more rope scobilizer. You know what to do.

You delusional oaf.

I hope he pees on his shoes in that fancy schmancy bathroom.

IBM's Marissa Mayer moment: Staff ordered to work in one of 6 main offices – or face the axe

Mr. A. N. Onymous

Will be interesting to see how this works out. Staff are not being given any relocation assistance beyond $2000 for miscellaneous expenses.

Intel preps for layoffs: Chipzilla sharpens axe for deep job cuts

Mr. A. N. Onymous

Re: Mature markets and good enough for home use

"But I don't think most users care, even though they're currently using 100+ watts to browse facebook."

To be fair, I think a huge percentage of folks are using their phones, tablets, at a few MW per. Hence the mess at chipzilla.

Confirmed: IBM slurps up Bruce Schneier with Resilient purchase

Mr. A. N. Onymous

Welcome, Bruce et all. Can't wait to hear how you adapt to our own brand of security theater.

IBM storage revenues sink: 'We are disappointed,' says CEO

Mr. A. N. Onymous

Just about the only bright side to this announcement is IBM backing away from the horrible Roadmap 2015 plan. Over the past several years the cuts have been so deep inside the company that they have damaged IBM's ability to succeed. Terrible cycle. Hoping against all logic that this will yield a better long-term growth plan.
